2 Open up a new world of sound with Starkey Noise & Leisure solutions When it comes to the highest quality sound technology, there s only one expert you should listen to. Starkey Hearing Technologies offer a custom listening experience unlike any other. That s because Starkey noise & leisure products are engineered precisely for your ears by our expert laboratory technicians and backed by the best customer service in the business. As a global leader in earmould manufacturing, we have invested in a new infrastructure to improve our earmould products and services. We are delighted to be the first manufacturer in Europe to have both a soft and hard digital production process to meet your earmould production requirements. Protection against hearing damage is essential where exposure to loud sounds occurs as a result of occupational or recreational activity. Starkey s protection and enhancement products are the first step to preserving hearing health. Starkey offer an excellent portfolio of custom-fit options that blend performance with hearing protection for all recreational and professional listening needs. 3 SHOOTERS & HUNTERS SOUNDGEAR 5 MUSICIANS & CONCERTS PERFORMER / PROTECTER MUSICSAFE CLASSIC PARTYPLUG PRO / PARTYPLUG TUNZ / EARPOD EARMOULDS 9 SWIMMERS SWIM PLUGS / SWIMSAFE 10 INDUSTRY WORKSAFE PRO / ALPINE CUSTOM ED NOISE PLUGS / WORKSAFE 12 LEISURE FLYFIT / SLEEPSOFT / MOTOSAFE SURFSAFE 14 CHILDREN PLUGGIES KIDS / MUFFY Table of contents Noise Protection performance definitions WHAT IS NRR? Noise Reduction Rating - a unit of measurement, based on ANSI requirements, to compare the effectiveness of hearing protection devices to reduce noise levels. The higher the NRR number associated with a hearing protector, the greater the potential for noise reduction. WHAT IS SNR? Single Number Rating which provides a single overall attenuation value, based on European EN352 requirements, for quick comparison between hearing protectors. A SNR of 25 is a hearing protector that attenuates, on average, 25dB across the whole frequency band. The higher the SNR value, the more attenuation is achieved. Please Note: NRR and SNR values are calculated in different ways, and therefore should not be compared against each other. WHAT ARE H, M & L? H, M & L values give more information on the attenuation characteristics of the hearing protector in 3 frequency ranges. H average attenuation values for High frequency sounds greater than or equal to 2000Hz. M average attenuation values for Medium frequency sounds between 500Hz and 2000Hz. L average attenuation values for Low frequency sounds that are less than or equal to 500Hz. WHAT CAN YOU DO WITH MEAN ATTENUATION VALUES? Mean Attenuation values show the most detailed attenuation data, by presenting the average attenuation of the test results at specific frequencies, ranging from 125Hz to 8000Hz. If noise levels at these frequencies are known, the resulting transmission levels to the ear can be calculated. WHAT CAN YOU LEARN FROM STANDARD DEVIATION VALUES? Because every ear is unique, no two test subjects will give the same test results. Therefore, Standard Deviation values provide the maximum amount of variation in attenuation performance, from the Mean, when using the relevant hearing protection. WHAT ABOUT ASSUMED PROTECTION (APV) VALUES? The APV value is the minimum expected attenuation in each of the octave bands that will be obtained from that particular hearing protector. If the APV value is not provided, then it is equal to the Mean Attenuation - Standard Deviation in each band. 190 ROCKET LAUNCH SHOTGUN BLAST 160 BALLOON POP JET ENGINE LOUDEST SOUND POSSIBLE DEATH OF HEARING TISSUE EVEN SHORT EXPOSURE CAN CAUSE LONG TERM DAMAGE PNEUMATIC DRILL 130 PAIN BEGINS - HEARING POLICE SIREN EARPHONES 120 BABY CRYING ROCK CONCERT 110 TUBE TRAIN ORCHESTRA 100 LAWN MOWER 90 FACTORY NORMAL CONVERSATION BIRD CALL WHISPER 20 BREATHING 10 0 DECIBEL LEVEL VERY LOUD LOUD QUIET FAINT PROTECTION ESSENTIAL LEGAL ACTION LEVEL SMALLEST AUDIBLE SOUND - NEAR SILENCE 2

3 NOISE & LEISURE: SHOOTERS NOISE & LEISURE: SHOOTERS Shooters & Hunters Soundgear Hearing is an important advantage for competitive shooters and hunters. SoundGear amplifies and protects this most vital sense with proven and superior hearing technology. This advanced digital technology delivers environmental awareness while simultaneously protecting the user s hearing from gun blasts. SoundGear devices are the only shooter and hunter protection devices that have been designed to provide users with superior wind noise reduction. The proprietary Acoustic Signature technology detects and classifies wind, providing clarity in situations that matter most. SoundGear Custom Fit, in the ear (ITE) devices, are designed to further ensure maximum wind reduction, by using a helix microphone. SoundGear in the canal (ITC) provides a generic solution to protection and fitting. SoundGear devices also utilise best-in-class feedback cancellation technology to ensure a virtually whistle free experience for the wearer. The behind the ear (BTE) and Custom Fit (ITE) models are available in two different product technology levels with varying feature sets. The BTE, ITE and ITC models offer compact design and provide ultimate comfort. SoundGear devices can be worn throughout the day with ease. All styles of SoundGear devices offer optimal Noise Reduction Ratings (NRR) of 25 db for the ITC, 24 db for the ITE and 26 db for the BTE. Platinum BTE 4 programs for maximum flexibility.

4 NOISE & LEISURE: MUSICIANS & CONCERTS NOISE & LEISURE: MUSICIANS & CONCERTS Musicians & Concerts PerformER & ProtectER by Cluistrom For a musician, hearing isn t just a means of communication it s a way of life. Constant exposure to high sound levels can affect a musician s ability to make crucial sonic adjustments during a performance. Musicians Filtered Custom Earmoulds use flat-response attenuators, so that sound heard through the filters has the same quality as the original sound, just quieter. Musicians Filtered Custom Earmoulds attenuate sound across all frequencies rather than just low- and mid-range frequencies, making music more clear and natural sounding. Unlike traditional earplugs which introduce a frequency bias, our Musician Filtered Custom Earmoulds are designed using soft silicone to protect your hearing, while delivering clear sound across all frequencies available with 10, 15, 25 or 30 interchangeable filters.
